Yesterday I moved desks at work, which takes me from being in the same room as the finance team, to being up a floor in the open plan office, just outside the MD's door.

So this morning on the way to work, it felt like a new day (new desk) so I went to Tesco on the way to work and bought all the ingredients for soup (I make raw soup in my Vita Mix which I permanently keep at work). Anyway that was an achievement in itself as I have not used it in ages. I also bought two lemons, so during the course of the morning I drunk mugs of hot water with lemon in it and it made me feel VERY good. I also had my usual bowl of ready brek with Victor.

Anyway during the course of the morning Zoe said "cup of tea Lis?" and I said yeah. So I had normal tea, with 2 biscuits and it gave me a cloggy groggy feeling an a fuzzy head, so I know what suits me......... (need to stay strict now).

Then at lunch I made the soup and ruined it (first time I have done that in 2 years). Basically I put too many basil leaves in. Too much avocado. No ginger or garlic (forgot to buy it), no bouillon ... etc... etc... BUT I still ate 2 bowls of it (plus 2 slices of toast) and it did keep me full for hours.

After work, me and Magdalena went for 1 pint (and as I haven't drunk in weeks it went straight to my head). The place we went to does really good food, so I had a thai vegetable curry and rice. So I came home full full full and for once will have fully digested my food before bedtime.

So my achievements today were:

* drinking lots of water

* drinking mugs of lemon water

* having soup for lunch

* acknowledging that the biscuits made me feel like poo

* and just a general feeling that I have indeed started something. The mental hurdles are as much a part of it with me!

I am going to try and have an early night tonight to follow My Peace's example..... so will sign this off shortly.

Welcome

Hi there,If you have found me, you, like me, probably want to lose weight in 2009. It is not always a straight forward process and life gives us our ups and downs, and also we sometimes see the weight go up and down, but together, blogging and motivating each other, we can do it.I have this blog to be part of a community, and to provide myself with much needed accountability. Also provides an outlet for the thoughts and ramblings inside.Thanks for coming, Liska x
